INTERESTING FACTS

The record for reciting the most number of decimal places of Pi was achieved by Rajveer Meena at VIT University, Vellore, India on 21 March 2015. He was able to recite 70,000 decimal places. To maintain the sanctity of the record, Rajveer wore a blindfold throughout the duration of his recall, which took an astonishing 10 hours!

Edgewood Junior High PTO Food Drive – March 24 – April 4
The EJHS PTO is hosting a food drive to support the Monroe County Community Kitchen Backpack Buddies program, which provides 2.5 tons of food each week to help 556 children in our community—including students in RBB schools. This program ensures that children in need have food to take home over the weekend, helping to bridge the gap when school meals are unavailable.

How to Participate:
• Drop off non-perishable food donations at the EJHS front office. Think items like granola bars, instant oatmeal, dried fruit, canned/pouch tuna or chicken, peanut butter etc.
• Incentive: For every five food items donated, students will receive a full-size candy bar of their choice as a thank-you!
Your support makes a difference in the lives of local children facing food insecurity. Thank you for helping us care for our community!
